1t is said the recent appropriation
for building the Wolf river levee is not
altogether unmixed with politics. The
members favorable to the scheme are
looking ahead and after their fences,
so to speak. Chairman Slaughter is
unaltersbly opposed TO suCh willful
squandering OF money, and his oppo-
nents have availed Themselves Of the
opportunity to take a decided stand
aIsinst him. The leader ia we'll known
and his supporters are always alert.
Mr.. McCsllum, who lives a short
distance beyond Hindman's Ferry,
called at the APPEAL office yesterday
and asked to be placed on record as
not having anything to do with the
proposed levee. He stated that II
built he would derive no special good
from it, and he was, in fact, opposed
to it as unnecessary and too expensive
to be undertaken at this time.
Mr.. Matt Monaghan, who signed
the petition asking for IFS construc-
ton, also has no particular interest in
it, and says he only signed 1t because
some Of his friends requested it. His
entire property Is bait mile or more
this side, high and dry, and can In no
way be improved by the echeme. This
is probably the case with a number OF
gentlemen who signed the petition
they only did 30 under the honest be-
lief that 1t would accomplish wonders
for hundreds of unfortunate people
out there and the city. They had
never investigated the subject further
than to listen to the representations
OF advocates OF the levee. Some OF the
signsrs were among leading Front row
aud Main street business men, but II
Is altogether probable they did it
under misapprehension OF the facte.

A colored man named Pat Ford,
living at 2lS Elliott street, is devoting
a good deal OF his time and all his at.
tention to working up a supposed
murder mystery. The foundation for
this belief, shared by nearly all the
colo,ed people OF the city, is the case

an old cistern one day last week. Ford
tells the following story: He heard
two white men talking on Front row
about the boys having been drowned,

Union Veterans Union.

Col. L. G. Norton of Byron, a man of
stalwart proportions whose most notice
able features are big, kind face and
long, black beard, has been doing good
work in Michigan for the new union vet
GRAMS union. The society was organized
some sixteen months ago, the object being
not only to rival the grand army of the
republic, but to associate those who saw
active service. 1t is, in fact, like the
grand army republic in all respects, ex-
cept that six months of actual service at
the front (unles discharged for wounds)
during the rebellion are necessary FOR eli
gibility to membership. Col. Norton Is an
organizing commander and operates both
in this and other states. M. A. Dillon OF
Washington, is the comm ander-in-chief
Charters have been issue to veterans in
Corunna, Galesburs, Muskegon, Byron
and st. Clair, aud the colonel visited
Wayne this week. here are about n
dozen towns ready to apply for charter
as soon as the organizer can visit them
All Michigan veterans who wish 10 JOIN
the society as wei as the grand army,
and are eligible, can gain any information
they may desire by addressing Col. Norton
